Cargill is constructing its 12th animal feed plant in Vietnam with a total investment capital of 30 million USD in the southern province of Binh Duong. The factory, with a capacity of 260,000 tonnes a year, is expected to go into operation in the first quarter of 2017.
The group has invested 180 million USD to develop its animal feed mills system with a total capacity of 1.3 million tonnes a year in the country since 1995.
Additionally, the groups signed a 10 million USD deal with the Sai Gon International Terminals Vietnam (SITV) to build warehouse in Phu My.
